Migration, Human Trafficking, and Environmental Justice

University of Utah Sustainability Office Season 3 Episode 5

Dr. Annie Isabel Fukushima, a scholar-activist and associate professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Utah, discusses her research on migration and human trafficking and their connection to environmental justice. "As we start to think about how our crops and how our very food industries are impacted by environmental realities, that is also going to impact migrant workers and opportunities for labor," Fukushima says. "There's a range of issues that start to cohere around immigration, racialized and gender-based violence, and environmental issues."
